The Deputy makes a valid point about Traveller halting sites. That is a good suggestion. I am not sure if the Department has reached out in that regard. The Deputy is correct that a number of families in a group housing scheme or on a Traveller halting site could be working off a single meter. As I said in my response to Deputy O'Rourke, we have to establish that issue with local authorities and try to figure out what is the best mechanism for the rebate for families on Traveller halting sites.
